Okayama Sake Shop's Paid Tasting Event 8)
This sake is from Kawatake Brewery in Mie!
They are the brewer of Hokosugi and Amayadori!
It was calpis soda😍😋.
It is delicious😊I felt the taste is similar to Miyazumi which I drank earlier. I think this one has a little more grain accent.
I forgot that it was a bit of a ogara-mi and was surprised when it started to get cloudy after the last 3 cups 😅.
I couldn't tell the difference after mixing, but it was delicious! Thanks for the food😄
Good evening, Tsuyodai 😊.
I'd remember if you drink it the same day you get it 😅.
They started carrying this in my neighborhood (the one that isn't the T main store).

Purchased at a sake shop
We decided to have chicken on Christmas Eve, so we chose a sake to go with it 🎄.
Last year it was Sansho, so this year I was looking for a sake with a gaseous taste, and I bought KAWABU, which I have had before!
This is my first time drinking sake at home!
Cold sake
Fresh aroma
Crisp and fruity acidity.
Chilli gas feeling.
Junmai ogara-mi, so you can feel the umami and volume of the rice.
There is a moderate astringency in the aftertaste.
It is good as a stand-alone sake, but it might be better as a food sake.
It went well with fried chicken.
First KAWABU😋.
The aroma is reminiscent of sweet pears and peaches.
In the mouth, there is a refreshing sweetness with a gaseous sensation, followed by a bitterness and a clean finish. It reminds me of the taste of youth with innocent and bitter memories... (laugh).
With the sweet-and-sour pork style. The sweet and sour taste of ketchup and vinegar brings out the flavor of this sake, and if anything, the sweetness is subdued and the koji taste becomes stronger. It is also great with a meal 👍.

Is this the first brewery you've encountered? I thought it was, but when I looked it up, I found that the main brand name was Hokosugi, which I knew (^_^;).
It has a slight effervescence, with a subtle sweetness and a nice transition from sourness to spiciness.
The overall image is refreshing.
I love the feeling of the slight gunpowder of nama-zake!
